Love Island's Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde have moved in together in Essex

Love Island's Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey have moved in together.

The couple - who met on the dating reality TV show three months ago - have decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting a flat together in Essex.

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, the brunette beauty said: "If we met in normal circumstances, I would think moving in after three months would be a bit soon, but when you're on that show, a day is like a week.

"We had six-and-a-half weeks together, 24 hours a day, no time apart - so I feel like I've been with Nath for about a year.

"It was Nathan's idea for me to move to Essex and for us to get a place together. It's been a different way of starting a relationship but now we have the time to get to know each other properly."

And, although they've only got 12 weeks of dating under their belts, the loved-up couple are even starting to think about marriage and creating a family together.

Cara explained: "We both think we'll be together forever, and have the whole marriage and kids thing."

Meanwhile, Nathan is no doubt thrilled about Cara's decision to move to Essex with him as he admitted recently that she's a dab hand in the kitchen.

Nathan said: "She's very clean and she's a blinding cook. She taught me how to make banoffee pie! We're with each other and that's it, nothing will break us up."

The pair - who spent six weeks cooped up in the famous villa - won the show in July and decided to split the £50,000 prize money, despite Cara being allowed to take it for herself.
